Check this out, the SL 65 BS is now going for 220k. So is the a 2009 DBS. Both cars have ~2500 miles and are price right around 220k, which would you rather have?

you can buy a 2006ish SL65 AMG, not the Black Series of course, for $65k here. AMG cars have monstrous depreciation.

I'd take the DBS over pretty much anything, besides LFA

Also, I don't know if you're asking just out of curiosity or actually buying one of these cars. If you're buying, the SL will be worth $60k in a few years, while the DBS is gonna be worth 150k. Just food for thought.
